Well, it dosn't really sound like any kind of a 'bug' to me, and it does sound rather more normal...
It sounds like a bug (or dodgy script), but is certainly not normal.

I believe it will automatically do this if their isn't anymore room on the taskbar for more buttons (in this case the buttons of every chat you have tabbed).
1) When the taskbar is full, Windows will add a taskbar button to a second line
2) because his chats were tabbed, he doesn't (should) have multiple buttons but only 1 button

it automatically groups together all of the windows of the same type/application if their are currently many buttons on the taskbar, because it basically cannot fit anymore buttons.
Wrong... this is a setting/option in Windows. It can be set/unset to group buttons of the same application together or not.

Just as it can be set when this grouping should occur (thus after x open windows of same application)

However, I believe you can still fix this, if you wish...Please follow the following instructions: Right click anywhere on the taskbar where their isn't currently anything there that you can select, click Properties, and uncheck the fourth check box on the top on the Taskbar tab named, 'Group similar taskbar buttons', and click Apply. It should now be fixed. If the problem persists, I am afraid I do not know how to help you furthur...I hope this helped though...
you provide a solution for something you don't know the OP has. Why not ask first to be more clearly (although he clearly said he has NO button, not 1 button for several windows or whatever)?

It clearly does sound like a bug... But this is the first time anyone reports something like this...

Hence, there is currently no fix for it either afaik.

What is your complete and exact version number of:
- MSN Messenger/Windows Live Messenger
- Messenger Plus!
(you can find the complete version numbers in the about-windows of Messenger and Messenger Plus!)

PS: to rule out some dodgy script (which could cause this): disable all scripts and restart Messenger (that is if you have any scripts ofcourse)...
